An update to our blog post a few months back on our extremely popular rear dashcam mount bracket.
This simple yet effective device allows anyone wanting to fit a front and rear dashcam to their hatchback vehicle with extreme ease.
When installing the rear dashcam in a hatchback vehicle, knowledge and time is required to enable routing of the rear camera cable.
In a hatchback vehicle to avoid any unsightly wires, you would normally need to route the cable through the rubber grommet that feeds other wires through into the tailgate.
This would involve removing vehicle trim on the tailgate then removing the rubber grommet itself that attaches to the vehicle to the tailgate.
Special tools are often needed so as to not break the grommet fixings (Volkswagen, Audi Group) and also in Range Rover, Land Rover and Jaguar SUV's the rear spoiler needs removing to channel the cable through and this alone can take around 50+ minutes.
How to route your rear dashcam cable in a Volkswagen Vehicle

Depending on vehicle make and model, it can take anything from 15 minutes to 1 hour to correctly route a rear dashcam cable through the rear tailgate grommet. This grommet is used for all the boot / tailgate electronics (and sometimes the feed for the rear washer fluid) and on quite a few vehicles like Range Rover, Jaguar, Volkswagen, you need special tools to correctly remove the grommet to gain access inside. You also need to remove difficult panels and even the rear spoiler. This can not only make it a difficult job but you risk breaking things and even damaging the grommet itself, resulting in water ingress into your vehicle.
So, with our experience in installing into thousands of vehicles and in 3d product design, we took to our 3d cad software to come up with a solution that would not only make the job of fitting your own rear dashcam / reversing cam simple and easy but change the time required to install, from up to an hour to literally minutes.
Here we have our very own rear dashcam mount bracket, now available in 5 sizes to cover many vehicles!
The mount attaches to the trim headliner, allowing for cable routing along the trim, providing a professional look.
Designed in 5 different sizes to cater for different vehicle trim headliner and professionally 3d printed in very tough and heat resistant ABS (think of LEGO, its the same material). The mount needs to be made in ABS due to the high temperatures that occur on hot days (it does get extremely hot toward the top of the glass in vehicles).
Our dashcam mounts are compatible with just about any Dashcam, be it FineVu, Viofo, Gnet, Blackvue, Goluk, Nextbase, Mio, Thinkware, Vantrue, Orskey, RedTiger, Wolfbox and many more!
In order to find the correct size for your car, just measure the headline trim from the top down to where it starts to bend round and then compare your measurements to the measurements on the mounts.
You can always opt for the cost saving triple pack bundle where you can not only save money, but also share the mounts with other vehicles in your family or even future proof functionality with your next vehicle.
We have received great feedback with positive reviews from owners of various vehicles including VW, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover / Range Rover, Audi, Porsche, Ford and Skoda to name a few.
